Lovely picture, but to me it looks a little askew.
Best regards

It would be a lovely photo if you could fix the converging verticals in PS or whatever.
The bungalow like thing on the banks to the right is the boathouse I used to row out of once upon a time. Always a bit nerve racking spinning a four just in front of that weir!
Best wishes, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I was down there yesterday but the light was non existent. On my way back a rower was in the water above the weir, I thought it was part of the training but she had capsized.
The coach got her out safely and sent her to the boathouse to get out of the wet clothes.
I know the water was freezing because I had been fishing two days earlier and I had not thawed out.
Regards
John

Philstaff,
PSE6 has a lovely feature called Straighten tool (P). Press and hold Ctrl, then click on top of one of the towers and draw a line along the vertical edge. When you release th mouse button, the picture rotates to bring that line to absolute vertical (plumb):

Not perfect, but better, imho.
Love your second picture too, btw.

Gone too far the other way, IMHO! I would choose to use the reflections of the reeds, or perhaps one of the verticals on the building on the left.Not perfect, but better, imho.
